mindmeld: My understanding is minimal, but quantum encryption is an integral part of how quantum entanglement works. With the discovery of quantum entanglement, we essentially discovered quantum encryption. It has to do with entangled pairs. They are inseperable, and thus, unbreakable encryption. koan: I think it is a bit different: Entanglement is the phenomonen of when two particles are entangled and then separated they have instantanous knowledge of what each other is doing. They have proven this in the lab many times. It is also what Einstein called"spooky action at a distance". The scientists will entangle two particles and send them off in different directions, each spinning in opposite directi ons (negative and positive charges) of the other. If they then change the spinning of one the other will change direction instantanously. Quantum encryption has to do a collapse of the quantum wave action. If you do anything at all to somehing with quantum encrption , have any interaction, even trying to measure quantum encryption, it will collapse the quantum wave action and shut it down. By the way, Einstein did not like quantum physics (although he sort fo discovered it)and the biggest debate (no one knows about) of the 20th century was between Einstein and his supporters adn Neils Bohr, shrodenger, heisenberg, wheeler, etc and his supporters. The debate had to do with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) which says one can never know exactly both the position of a particle and the movement. The moreyou know about one the less you know about the other. einstein did not beleive it. It made the headlines of the New York times when Einstein said he could prove he was right and the above HUP was wrong. Bohr and his buddies showed Einstein his mistake and he admitted he was wrong and the quantum people were right.
